Hello All you wonderful Monmkeys. Thank you so much for keeping me in your prayers. I think during my drugged stooper I saw friendlky little monkeys all stsanding in trees looking down on me. Seriously, I didn't feel alone and felt protected, from all your prayers no doubt.

I didn't have the surgery we thought i might neeedd. Thank goodness for that! BUT, they took a sample to biopsy, and I will know next friday that outcome..so my nerves are still a bit raw thinking of the stuyff they may say. The unknown is always worse.

I am on some wonderful meds that make me a bit loopy..of course they are just harmless meds but with me even two tylenols would affect me lol

OMgoodness, I am so glad to hear that DiHannah and Seamonkey got through their surgery OK, though terribly sorry to hear DiHannah is at the ER today...

Lexie, I am saying prayers for your family...I can never find the right words to say at times like this...Just know that we are all thinking of you and praying for you and your family...Your aunt sounds like she was a wonderful woman who enriched so many lives and dedicated herself to helping others.

MrsRed...I am saying prayers for you as well. I've been keeping you in my prayers for quite some time now...I don't want to leave anyone out, as you are all in my prayers, but it does help to read your requests so that I can give those who are in real need at the time some special prayer time...

And now I have a prayer request for you. Actually it's from my coworker Susan who recently had surgery for a colon cancer scare. As many of you already know, she did not have cancer (Praise the Lord!) but the Dr. said it would have been cancer within the year. Her husband's cousin has been in a terrible car accident and needs all of your prayers...I'll paste her email below:

"I have a very urgent prayer request for you all, and for your churches if you have a prayer chain.

Henry's cousin, Clydean (named for her 2 grandfathers) was in a very bad car wreck late Thursday and is in ICU in critical condition at UAB. She has 2 broken feet, a broken femor, a broken neck, broken ribs, broken fingers, bleeding in her liver and spleen, and a cut in the aorta in her heart. The doctors have been trying for 2 days to get her stable enough for surgery for her heart, but her other injuries are so severe that they haven't been able to do anything yet.

She was driving on a 2 lane road when a car on the other side went to pass a vehicle and hit her head on. Then the car behind her broadsided her. It took the emergency workers 30 minutes to get her out of the car and she wasn't breathing when they first got to her.

Her 17 year old son, James, has a broken leg but has had surgery and is doing well.

I know it will take nothing short of a miracle to get her through this, so that's what we're praying for. I would really appreciate all your prayers."

Lexie: I am so sorry to learn of your aunt's passing. I will pray for comfort for your uncle and their children - as well as you and the extended family. It is so hard to lose someone so young - We lost my MIL way too soon as well. May your memories of the love she has showed you sustain you during this difficult time.

Seamonkey - you are in my prayers for a good outcome.

Dihannah - hope all is well with you - prayers for your recovery.

Mishy - I will certainly lift up Clydean in prayer. Please keep us informed

Diana.. I feel like an idiot.. LOL I didnt see that you posted yourself before I did <slithering off into the corner now..lol>

You shouldn't! I should have known you would care enough to post for me after all of our emails. I'm the one embarrased for asking for myself...... There are so many others here worse off and in need of prayer more than I. I appreciated all the prayers and you caring enough to ask for me! Thank YOU!

My coworker gave me an update on her husband's cousin, Clydean and I wanted to share it with you all:

The doctors are planning to do surgery on her leg Friday if she’s stable enough. I also found out that she’s coded 3 times since she’s been in the hospital. Although she’s only around 47, she’s had heart problems (including a bypass) prior to the wreck, so it’s a miracle she’s made it this far. Meanwhile, we just keep praying!

Mishy. Prayers for your coworker. And as always prayers to everyone here.

Ditto, prayers for all in need.....My Mother goes in the hospital again tommorow for surgery. She broke her hip in November. As she was recovering pretty well from that, she had a perforated intestine, so she went in a few months ago and they had to take out part of her intestines and put a colostomy on her.....Tommorow, she is having that reversed, so they can take that bag off of her. She wants this done, and I do not blame her. She should only be in about 5 days, then I will help her for awhile when she gets home. Any prayers will be much appreciated!
